Simple DIY All-Purpose Cleaner Recipes with Essential Oils
If you are newer to the natural living game, then you probably made some pretty terrifying discoveries once you started diving into the ingredients of some of the most traditional or advertised products (looking at you Dawn, Tide, and Clorox). But as I mentioned before, you are in the right place because dōTERRA has your back!
Let’s talk about simple swaps you can make for your Kitchen!
All-Purpose Spray Recipe
Pick from two super simple recipes for a DIY All-Purpose Spray:
¼ cup white vinegar
1 ¾ cup water
30 drops Essential Oil of your choice
2 Tablespoons of On Guard Cleaning Concentrate
15 drops Essential Oil of your choice
Top with distilled water
Options include: 15 drops each Lavender & Lemon, 10 drops each Eucalyptus, Peppermint & Wild Orange, 30 drops OnGuard or 15 drops each Grapefruit & OnGuard
👉 Add all ingredients to a 16 oz spray bottle. Shake thoroughly and spritz on surfaces and wipe clean! Perfect for use all throughout the house! This will literally cost you less than $2.00 for a full spray!
All-Purpose Wipes Recipe
Did you know that you can make your own All-Purpose wipes? If you are a recovering Big Brand wipe addict like myself, then this is the best news ever!
✅ All you need is:
1 roll premium paper towels
2 cups warm water
2 tbsp Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO)
5 drops On Guard
1-2 tbsp OnGuard Foaming Hand Wash
✅ How to DIY them:
1. Cut the paper towel roll in half widthwise with a serrated knife. Use one half now and save the other for later!
2. Combine water, FCO, essential oils, and Hand Wash in a small bowl
3. Pour mixture over paper towels and cover with an airtight lid. Let absorb for 10 minutes.
4. Flip the container over and let it sit another 10 minutes.
5. Remove and discard the cardboard tube. Pull the wipes from the center when you are ready to use them!
Do this once and see just how simple it is to make these non-toxic wipes that even your kids can use to help you clean!
